`WATER-HEATING AND STEAM-GENERATING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of vLetters Patent No. 757,263, dated April 12, 1904'. Appumanfneaiunea.,1903. smaila. 159,987. (No model.)

To .Ll/ZZ whom it may calmer-nr Be it known that I, JESSE T.BURR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glenville, in the county of Cuyahoga 4and State of- Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water Heating and Steam.

Generating Devices; andI do declare. that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionlof the invention, which .will enable others Fig. 3 is a detail of one of the burner-mantles shown in Figs. l and 2. Fig. 4 is `a sectionalI plan view of a modification of the invention.4

l Theform of heaterherein shown is designed more especially for use as a lWater-front in a cooking stove or range, and for this-reason itjl lhas been built narrow 1n cross-section or depth` front to rear, but has elevation to give a large heating-surface. In this luse as w'ell as in others, as where the "device is employed separately lfor heatingA water l'or vprovidin g steam or as an instantaneous water-heater, the device necessarily is embodied in a suitable casing C, and the form of the casing may be as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 or circular,'asshown in Fig. 4.

Other forms also may-be used without departf ingfrom thespiritof-the invention. In Fig. 1 I also show a chamberedor divided casing, in which there is shown a single central horizontal partition c, extending across 'thecasing and A.

from end to end and constructed to allow'the water to flow from the lowenchamber or spaceV a tothe upper chamber or space b around or through the end of said partition opposite the .waterV inlets and. outlets 2 and 3, respectively. Thus waterA entering chamberA a flows about .the burnerl tubes or mantles D from inlet 2 to the other end of the heater, whence it. `passes up into the upper chamberb andonward and outward through outlet-pipe ,3. O'necr more partitions -c can be used, but in reverse order.

It is intended in any event that the space be tween said tubes D or between the tubes and the wall of the casing be comparatively slight andas nearly uniform as'possible, and all my `arrangements contemplate the ymaximum eX- `.posureof the water to the heating-surface which any given form or style of heater affords'.

structed and arranged that they willimpart their heat directly to the water rather than lose it' largely in the draft, casing C is provided with openings in its bot-V tom of a size to introduce the said tubes l) bodily up to their bottom flangesd, whilethe -threaded necks d of the said tubes extend through correspondingly smaller holes inthe top of `the casing. Nuts 4 engagev necks d', and gaskets 5 at the ends of the tubes D serve to make said tubes watertight in .the casing. Partition 'lor diaphragm 0 is prov'ided with holes also for tubes D, but-no packing isrequired at thispoint. Each tube is independentof all the others, land any unskilled person with a wrench can remove and replace a tube,

if occasion occurs. y

In Fig. 4 the casing comprises the vertical inner and outer walls C and C2, but with tubes D, as in Fig. 1. Wall C is really a drum .to

Hence' in Fig. 1 the entire heating-lv -surfaceof each and all the burner-tubes is exposed to water, andthe saidtubes are so con- To these ends the prevent excessive radiation, and any suitable Vwater connections and means to cause the Water to travel back and forth may be used. Y

The part Dis referred to herein as a burnerl tube, but in Fig. 2 the said part is shown as oblong in cross-section, and itis contracted atits top somewhat 4like a jug, leaving an open'- ing large enough, however, to afford draft for the products of combustion. The -bcdy of said tube 'is preferably of the same cross-section from end to end, and it is distinguished, further, by its flange d below and threaded neck d above;

,I do not confine myself to any particular kind of fuel for heating tubes D,ebut show a gas-pipe P with burner-jets. I might, however, use a kerosene or other burner which will deliver heat into tubes D. y

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to one partition or diaphragm nor to a IOO horizontal arrangement thereof, as I mightfuse two or more partitions and arrange them vertically instead of horizontally. Y

What I claim' is- -v 1.1 .Awater-heater comprising a fluid-tight casing lhaving water inlet and outlet openings relatively 'at'.- the same side of the casing, in combination with a 'series of burner-tubes extending through .v said casing and openfto the outsidelai'r at both ends, said burner-tubes I contracted' fat their' upper ends, and locked` {luid-tight with-said casing' at both ends, and

.IIS

2.;'The-casinghaifing- -water inlet andoutlet openings at substantiall)T the same side, a partition between said v'openings dividing the cas- .ing into twov communicating compartments,

burner-tubes extending throughthe top and bottom of'said casing and through saidv partition, said'tubes having reduced upper portions andmeans thereon-securing said tubes at the v top, and flanges on said tubes beaing'against the bottom of the casing', substantially as described;A 4 v v .Witness my hand to the foregoing specification "this ,2lst day of May,;1-903...
